Description
Many career and research opportunities in physics today are in the field of particle physics. However, particle physics is often not covered in introductory courses- leaving students in the dark about these career paths! This talk will introduce you to the opportunities and resources (including ready-to-go lesson plans) provided by Fermilab’s QuarkNet program for university faculty, high school teachers, and current students. I will present examples of real student work from my classes, and suggestions for the implementation of these lessons. Adaptations I have made to this material for virtual/hybrid instruction will also be featured.
